I agree, but let's say you are looking for a library to solve your problem - you see one repo updated 2 weeks ago and the other one updated 5 years ago - which one do you choose? | ||

Perhaps some kind of ‘this code is still alive’ flag is key. Even just updating the project. Watching issues. Anything showing ‘active but done’. | ||

That depends. What problem do I have, exactly? Do I need a library to sort an array? The 5 years ago option is going to be the more likely choice. A library updated 2 weeks ago is highly suspicious. Do I need a library to provide timezone information? The 2 weeks ago option, unquestionably. The 5 years ago option will now be woefully out of date. | ||
